Having entered into a relationship with a strong, independent woman, you may be wondering how to keep her. To be able to spread her wings and do things on her own, she needs enough space, but giving her that space can be intimidating. It’s crucial to trust her enough that once she’s done saving the world, she’ll come back to you at the end of the day.
Strong women have high standards and a clear moral code. If you can’t respect her, she will move on. Here are 11 things a strong woman will not tolerate in a relationship:
1. Disrespect
in a relationship goes both ways. An assertive woman knows her worth, and she won’t tolerate being disrespected. She knows that respect is essential in a relationship. In return, she will always treat you with respect.
2. Being Controlled.
Strong women are independent. They need time. There is a life they choose to let you be a part of. Don’t tell her what she can and cannot do. Don’t tell her where she can and cannot go. Don’t tell her what she can and cannot wear. Think again if you think you’ll have a say in who she talks to. Strong women you can’t control.
3. Pushing Her Boundaries
Knowing and respecting your partner’s morals, values, and personal boundaries are extremely important. A strong woman knows her worth, and she has no problem saying “no.” She will never tolerate anyone who attempts to break her values or morals for selfish reasons. She will expect better from you, and if you can’t respect her boundaries, she’ll move on.
4. ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ
A strong woman will never put up with ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ. Once she catches you, it’s game over for her. If she catches you playing with her, it doesn’t matter how you try to justify it. Women who are strong look for relationships that will help them reach the next level in their lives. If you’re going to ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛ on her, a strong woman won’t ever blame herself but she knows it has everything to do with your own insecurities.
5. Being Negative Toward Her
Every woman has a bad day every now and then, but a strong woman knows how to get back up after she falls. Being stuck in a negative state isn’t only unattractive, it pulls the people around you down as well. Negativity toward your partner and her ideas, thoughts, and opinions will not be tolerated for long.
6. Excuses.
One or two times when something falls through is understandable, but a constant stream of excuses isn’t. Women who are strong accept apologies, but also know when to walk away from them. Any guy who is really good at making excuses has probably had a lot of practice.
7. Lying
Honest women are strong. They tell you they ran into their ex while getting coffee. Someone hit on them at the bar. They won’t keep you in the dark when it comes to anything. They expect the same loyalty from you. A lie makes them question their ability to trust you, and if they can’t trust you, they can’t build a relationship with you.
8. ᴊᴇᴀʟᴏᴜsʏ
ᴊᴇᴀʟᴏᴜsʏ is a sign of insecurity. She has no need to waste her time trying to convince you, you have her. She can’t keep repeating that her guy friends are only that. She spent enough time working on herself and her own issues of insecurities. She knows the only way to beat it is build yourself up and that isn’t something a partner can teach you. Confidence comes from something within you not because of the person sleeping next to you at night.
9. Unkindness
Being unkind is also a sign of insecurity. When threatened, people become mean. The strongest women will never choose someone who is mean because how you treat EVERYONE, regardless of whether they have something to offer you or not, determines who you are. Strong women have a strong heart. They care about everyone because that’s how you build a relationship — when it’s based on kindness and care.
10. Emotional Abuse And Toxic People.
Strong women won’t put up with anyone treating them badly. They won’t forgive you so easily if you yell at them and belittle them. Anyone who puts others down in order to make themselves feel better should not be in a relationship in the first place.
11. Neglect
Since she is willing to give you her time and attention, she expects it in return. She’ll be skeptical if you drop off the face of the earth and waltz back into her life.
